Help me think of a slogan for automation tools

My company develops chromatography software. It has recently developed several ways of automating certain processes that will help the user save time and automate things. I'm trying to think of a collective name for them. "Timekeeper Technology" is one I've just thought of. Can you think of any others?
Automation is what this is usually called in software.

Saturn was the Greek god of Time. Maybe something can be gleaned there?

Naming a product is tough. Unfortunately I can't sit here and brainstorm with you. But quadog's suggestion is a good starting point. Look at your product and the context of its use very carefully, then make a list of all the things associated with it--entymological, historical, relevance to audience, etc. Personally, I like to use latin and greek dictionaries and find useful word roots, then combine them with other prefixes/suffixes/syllables in a way that is pleasing, meaningful and relevent. Be creative and associative, and get other coworkers in on the process. Good luck!

Saturn was a Roman name -- the greek god was Chronos, but he technically wasn't a god (he was a Titan).
Also, I really like furtive's "Chronomagic" suggestion, although I wouldn't know what the software did based on the name.

What part are you automating that wasn't before? Hardware stuff like sample injection, or computational stuff like integration?

Maybe striking away from the directions here (personally I think the Chroma/Chrono and ChromAuto things are a bit too cute - just one opinion though!) with something simple like Optimizer or Multitasker or Process Manager Technologies or Systems or Package. I don't like "Timekeeper" just because the phrase is not suggestive to me of automation or time saving.
